Thanks Owl. And now I'll answer your 11 questions--as well as try to think of people I can nominate.

Name two things that you
absolutely love about kdramas.

*I love that they (usually) have a
beginning, middle, and end. A frustration I have with US television
is that often a series will just quit in the middle of a story, (Pushing Daisies, I'm still mourning you)--or go on forever.

*It's like a whole new world (sing
that in your best Aladdin voice) of stories, actors, writers, film
makers, etc. has opened up to me now that I've discovered K-dramas.

Name one thing that you absolutely
hate about kdramas.

*Noble idiocy. (Why, if you find out
the man you love also loves you, would you FOR ANY REASON leave
him?)

What is one of your favorite
books? Why?

*A Wrinkle In Time (Because it was
the first book I ever cried while reading.)

If you could visit Korea, name
three things you would like to see or places you would like to
visit.

*Gyeongbokgung

*Jeju Island

*The village where the 2 Days 1 Night
cast were given pretend grandmothers.

Is there a food you eat now
because of kdramas?

*I learned how to make Korean
pancakes. (Extra bonus: I use my own garden produce.)

Do you have any obsessions?

*A better question would be am I not
obsessive about anything. I obsess over way too much stuff.

Other than kdramas, what else
Korean do you watch/listen to?

*K-Variety.

Because of kdramas, I (finish the
sentence)

*I am closer to my family. We now all
watch Running Man and discuss episodes with each other.

Have you incorporated Korean words
into your vocabulary? If so, which ones?

*Yes. Daebak. (My youngest daughter,
who introduced me to K-Dramas, used inheritance money from her
grandmother to visit her sister in China, Hong Kong, and Korea. While
in Seoul, a native told her that her pronunciation was almost
perfect. Mine? Not so much.)
